I can imagine not unlike the war of the worlds radio program. there were instances of individuals panicking , and heading for the high ground. (hills)we can not continue to have an conflict w/ popular media and their penchant for sensationalism. this is not to suggest we muzzle freedom of expression.but as an constant w/out an healthy balance. humankind will be subjectto harmful manipulation.

forward into the future. the key in this segment is multiverse. not readyfor primetime. this premise acknowledges former and present physics known today. it ain't gonna happen in our life time.

never say never. the shear number of possible habitable planets in the solar system grows each year year year. the question will be , not to become. but ' is ' an reality.and so, the question of probability given acceptance of the drake equation.gives an quantity to work w/ into our earth/human limitations. space, time, energy, and budget!

cribbing data from early man. ( he won't mind) has adjusted somewhat and envolved, but fundamentally the song remains the same. signal intelligence .where one group of organisms say to another group of organisms . " hey were here...what's for dinner...maybe you!"

the handshake - it's been suggested most recently by an notable SETI radio astronomer . the the communication might be one way do to the enormous distance involved to transmit signals and get an response w/ currant techknow how. (time-distance)

how will this occur and when is speculative. it raises interesting questions about alien protocol , (something we still are developing on earth).once received. do we dumb down our technology or if in the realm of possibility improvise and improve native signals. example: that was definitely an message in a bottle . or, that signal was so stong it influenced our orbit.what we say and how we do it. says a lot about us.

science can not advance beyond what is not sociologically demonstrated and proven on earth- our behavior on earth must be exemplary before weventure off to the stars. or so it matters. think about it.

colonialism, will vicariously project beyond the planet and be an extension of our values. from w/in the construct of ' seeding planets ' = colonialism.

earth beings must not over extend nor leave the planets inhabitants wallowing in the dust of ignorance . universal principles apply here. because, these principles are the only bridge to our space fairings brethren whom also might be cruising for burgers . uniting - unifying .

fortunately the mankind using the scientific method, have much closer goals todemonstrate sociological and practical communication models. our lack of ability is our strength.

case in point . an moon and mars base to follow , allow much greater flexibility to defeat physical limitations. we will have humanoids on each end for an two way conversation . both competing w/ earth and vice versa . perfecting the art of communication. again all manner of signal intelligence. see: cosmic limitation to exoplantary signal intelligence.

if life is so rare and predatory. its no wonder we communicate at all.will we ; so benevolent a creature , allow space visitors whom come in peace,to visit and share this planet?

SETI talks subject Kepler and exo- planets . good stuff. for sure our alien brothers have already scoped out this planet. didn't leave a business card.not that we have found.

what happens when our robotics show up? I see nothing outwardly communicative about our luner landers . did they carry a business card of introduction ? maybe they are antidrone. and, it would freak them out.
